S3E54 | Excitement, Skepticism and Spurs' Summer Rebuild

About this episode

The episode discusses Tottenham's summer transfer activities and the implications for the team's future.

Thumbnail art was shot by the incredible Frederiike Jensen. We’re joined by Harry Brooks to make sense of Tottenham’s increasingly busy summer. With Andy Robertson through the door and moves for Senesi, Van Hecke and Savinho gathering pace, we ask whether Spurs are finally behaving like a club with a clear plan. We discuss the impact of the Lewis family’s ownership, De Zerbi’s influence on recruitment, the need for leadership and experience in the dressing room, and what the future holds for Romero, Van de Ven, Vuskovic, Danso and the rest of Spurs’ crowded defensive group. We also dive into Savinho, Adam Wharton, Hayden Hackney and the profile of midfielder Tottenham still seem to be missing, before asking the big question: are Spurs finally building a squad capable of matching their ambitions?
